I hope the guy who owns an RX-7 and Ferrari can at least help to replace that guy’s busted transmission, if not more.

Hydrogen is about to get a LOT cheaper. Plus PV hydrogen can be deployed nationwide.

No joke. Last time this came up the Musk Broa went apeshit both over my saying that it was theoretically possibly for solar and wind systems to split water this way; but a home system could store the hydrogen.

Toyota right again. BEv’s are just the interim to FCEV. Once hydrogen can be produced cheap and efficently, battery EV will be a thing of the past.

Queue all the armchair engineers on why Toyota has no idea what they’re doing since BEVs are the future as their messiah Elon Musk has told them.

By the shareholders, do you mean everybody who has something other than just Social Security and coffee can of cash in the backyard for retirement? If you have a 401K, a 403B, a pension, or some types of IRAs, you better damn well hope companies are looking out for their shareholders.

I understand your argument that it’s a small amount of money for the company. I think the problem might be that, if they pay them more than is obligated in the contract, it could invalidate the contract. If the contract isn’t enforced at this time, then when something really egregious happens, the UAW can say…

What grievance would the UAW have? How dare you follow the contract we signed?

The Morning Shift generator:

Yeah, they call this feature ‘parking during summertime in the south’

Luckily there is no possible way for this feature to be abused.

My most G-rated fantasy is that one day the experts will reign.

Poignant but at the same time probably well paid with good benefits
